And all this by Paris bnhappploue is come,
' Wyich voyde of grace, and diinde without wiſedome,
To kill his luſt from Grece robbed Helayne,
But this one pleaſure was grounde of much payne. |
Alſo Marcus a Pzinceof the Romanes,
Called Antonius by another name,
After that he had ouercome the Perſians, ;
To Rome returned with triumphe, laude and kame,
And there (which after was to his great ſhame)

That he pꝛomiſed to mane her Empꝛelſſe.

The Mirronr of good Maners
And as thou pꝛotedeſt as Regent bonozdble,
In vertue and maners likewiſe be Pzeſident,
And though none about the to thee be comparable,
Pet be thou not mage pꝛoude, moꝛe bautie oz negligent,
Noz trult not mqze greatly to thine owne indgement,
But do in due o2der tobat longeth vnto thee,
Hot folowing the life noz ſecte of commontie.
Af thou be made a Lion fake maners of a Lion,

Uſe Juſtice with mercy,lawe with compaſſion,
Ok maners like a monle no longer mayſt thou be,
. Cleare epes ot au Eagle when Chaiſt ſhall graunt to the
Then clerely loke vpwarde,and liue as thou art bounde,
And be not as a moule fill digging in the grounde,
When thou wert a knight oz a ſfubozne ſouldiour
The weapons of warfare were pleaſaunt vnto thee,
But nowe thou art Chziſtes knight thy weapon #armour
The Croſſe of Chꝛiſt Jeſu of dnetie ought to be,
When thou of Phiſition vſed the facultie
Thou caredlt ficke bodies of ſozes cozpozall,
Thou nowe made a paſtour cure ſozes ſpirituall.
Gene nowe to poʒe languent ſpirituall medicine,
And watche well thy foldes as ought a god paſtour,
A paſtour well watcheth by night dꝛeding rapine,
Leaſt violent wolues might bis weake ſhepe deuonr,
At can not;be inough foz merite and honour =
Thine owne p2tuate perſon in ſauegarde foz to kepe, _
Thon muſte in like maner pꝛelerue thy flocke and ſhepe.
But who that his owne life in maner doth deſpiſe,
And allo his pwze flocke expoſeth to deuour,
Nought caring foz the ſame noz him ſelfe in like wiſe,
As not to be called a hearde but a raninour,
And ought to be moned from rowme of gouernour.
Many be which count them heardes without blame
Which rather be wolnes vnwozthp their firſt name.
dz neither haue they thought on their poꝛe hungry ſhepe,
Oꝛ it they baue cared them both to gide and feds,
They baue not the cunning noz wapes them fo kepe,
Co cure of their ſoules thus can they not take hede,
But this notwithitanding pet loke they foz their mede,
Their duetie they chalenge, and neuer are content,
Though they in their duetie be neuer ſo negligent.
And gredy ambition them blindeth in ſuche wiſe
What though they be laded with cures innumerable,
And haue but ouermuche, that can them nat ſuffice,
Che moſte febleſt aſſe offe counteth him moſte able
Co beare of ambition the ſacke inſaciable, |
The ſacke without bottome which neuer can ſap ho,
The mo they recepue, alway they gape foz mo.
